That paper isn't even fit for lining a bird cage. I imagine many student run newspapers out there are the same.
The only good reason to subscribe back in the late 80's was so we could read Bloom County every day.

Is this what passes for humor there? I'm ashamed.

He's not a mascot. Calling him a mascot demeans his honor and purpose.

I've never seen a gap in faculty/student quality like I have with UIC. The faculty is world-class, but the students are mediocre at best and largely commuters. I'd say only UCLA is a better branch campus.

UofI is kind of known as an affirmative action haven. So no joy there.

A suspension for that one would be fine for me.

Words are sometimes in poor taste. We all have to be bigger than that. Racist and anti-semite remarks are hate words, but they are just words. It is ignorance that causes these feelings against others.

"Mike Vroom"? Suuuuure - I'm satisfied that's his real last name. Either that or the magic mushroom told Mom and Dad to go forth and change their surname.

Vroom "makes fun of everyone and everything . . . often depicts students having sex and contains foul language...the latest strip was the only one that was "definitely past the line.''Text book illustration of 'The slippery slope'. Instead of abiding at a reasonable center position the media is always dancing on the edge. One mistep and thousands of readers are treated to hate speech or needlessly revolting images and opinions.

The idget is a small scaly subterranean creature found generally in areas inhabited by leftists. It is an omnivore and nocturnal in nature. While generally considered harmless in large groups they have been know to attack, so caution is advised in dealing with them.
Genius idgetus minor
Recent fossil discoveries have show that in Precambrian age there was a larger (346 cm length 29 kg.) version that may have been carnivious.

Fire his bigotted ass from the fishwrap and then toss him out of school for a hate crime.
